Terry Lorant
I feel as though my work affords me priceless
opportunities on a daily basis to witness and record
the complexity, the richness, the intimacy and the
occasional hilarity of our lives and work. Every day
is an adventure.
 
Some days the assignment involves stepping into
scrubs and working close by as a surgeon delicately
probes the inner reaches of a patient’s brain (or not
so delicately but oh so precisely carves and shapes a
knee replacement). Other mornings we’re finding
the right angles and setting up to shoot the brain trust
of a thriving corporate enterprise.
 
To help tell the story of a nonprofit foundation, one
day we’ll be following the staff and residents of a
temporary shelter and the next day we might be
making a portrait at the estate of a community leader/
philanthropist whose vision and generosity has
helped to fund the shelter.
 
Our location portrait and environmental assignments
have taken us all over the country, from operating
suites in uptown Manhattan to the rural backroads of
Nashville to San Francisco boardrooms with a
magnificent view of the Golden Gate. Finding the
comfort zone for each of our subjects and bringing
out the right combination of personality, emotion,
interest and humor in every situation...that is the goal
for all of our images.
Pete Jacobson
Pete’s expertise and feel for computer and digital
technology has helped us to make the critical
transition from an all film enterprise to a full service
film-to-digital business. From helping to create an
intricate lighting scheme to managing the digital
workflow to a jobs conclusion, Pete’s patience,
attention to detail and ability to solve problems make
him an ideal partner in our world of image creation.
Collaborators
We are incredibly fortunate to have ongoing
collaborations with talented and skilled designers,
web masters, copywriters, video production teams,
public and media relations professionals, custom
production houses, assistants and other wonderful
"creatives" to help assemble the right combination of
resources for any job no matter how simple or
complex. It’s not just a picture; it’s your story.
"Outstanding photography
requires not only a good eye
and technical mastery, but
also demands that the artist
possess, in some sense, the
abilities of a chameleon.
That is, the photographer
sometimes must become
completely transparent,
coaxing the subject into
behaving as if there was no
one else in the room. On
other occasions, the
photographer needs to use
his or her personal presence
(and, perhaps, acting skills)
to evoke a response from the
subject - to bring out the
emotions that transform an
ordinary portrait into
something quite special.
 
Terry Lorant has this rare
talent. She knows when and
how to interact with her
subjects and when to
magically disappear.
The result? Her work glows
with humanness - when you
look at Terry's photos you
don't see the pictures, you
see the people."
